greetings forum,i have installed 5.9.1 soho and have trouble with hplip=2.8.5-i586-8vi59. when i run hp-setup it stalls at PPD not found, and recommends downloading from linuxprinting.org. i used gslapt install hpijs but get the same result. when i try run>hp-toolbox i get dbus not installed but it is according to gslapt. any hope to get hp-toolbox running?rgds

the log file is huge, i would need to break it down as it is to large to post. is there anything i should be looking for like an error msg. if not i will break it in half and try 2 posts. if i try to run $ hp-setup it tells me i must be root and stalls. gslapt says dbus is installed and i reinstalled it with the same result.what about installing hplip-1.7.4.tar.gz from sourceforge. the canned hplip-1.7.4a will not even start.
